If I were to believe in god, I would honestly believe that marijuana is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy. It can be used to treat over fifty different diseases, doesn't interact with any other medications, and has no biologically addictive properties. Its cousin, Hemp, can be used to make food, clothing, paper, fiber pressed boards, and biofuel. And one acre of hemp produces more paper than one acre of trees per harvest, and you can harvest it yearly, instead of once every five…

And one acre of hemp produces more paper than one acre of trees per harvest, and you can harvest it yearly, instead of once every five years. Hemp seeds are one of the most nutrionally complete foods on the planet, having most of the nutrients and minerals you need, plus a healthy dose of protien. And it grows pretty much anywhere without pesticides. I have no idea why we aren't investing in hemp and marijuana, because its the fucking super plant. Relevant:

<p>It started 12 years ago in Massachusetts when a small, virtually powerless minority group, having banded together into an organization named New England GLAD, <a href="http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8646465.html" target="_blank">filed a lawsuit</a>. The rest is history.</p>
<p>No minority group in this country has ever come roaring back with such stunning speed, ferocity and success after experiencing such systematic oppression, discrimination and abuse.</p>
<p>Seek out like-minded people in reputable organizations. Add your voice, signature, and dollars to theirs as often as you can. Activism doesn't always work. But sometimes it does.</p>

<p>The first step in fixing a problem, is admitting that there is a problem. These people didn't fix the problem, but they got the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD to actually admit that there is a problem, and start talking about it. That in and of itself is a herculean effort. Now it's up to us to start voting for people with some actual intelligence and balls to try and get this problem on it's way to being set right. May take ten years, May take 100 years.

Now it's up to us to start voting for people with some actual intelligence and balls to try and get this problem on it's way to being set right. May take ten years, May take 100 years. I'm willing to try, even if it means signing petitions all day long, which nowadays only takes a click or two.</p>
